Here is the link of the restaurant where BF is bringing me (at my direct request) for our anniversary...there seem to be a number of safe choices...what would you have?
I am thinking the John Dory or the Sea Bass..mmmmm
The Berries dessert is so good but has cream and chocolate, I might just ask for the berries without the sauce!!
Can't wait....mmmm

Its fish! Here's a description...
Quote:
John Dory
a.k.a.: Dory, St. Pierre
Waters:Atlantic Ocean (Most are harvested off the coasts of Europe and Africa.)
Description (in water): This unusual-looking fish is yellowish-olive or grayish in color with a flat, compressed oval body that's spotted on both sides. The dorsal spines are particularly long, and the eyes and mouth are large.
Description (in market): A firm-textured white-fleshed fish with a mild, sweet flavor and low fat content.
Best cooking: Here's a good fish to cook whole; like porgy, it's well suited to roasting or baking. Fillets can be poached or sautéed, or cut into chunks and added to chowders or stews like bouillabaisse. The bones add great flavor to soup stock.
Buying tips: Harvested mainly in Europe, the fish is often air-shipped to U.S. fish markets. Look for bright skin, red gills, and other signs of freshness; the scent should be sweet.
Substitutes: Porgy, grouper, monkfish

I would get stir fried prawns or sea bass and take a bite of boyfriend's dessert. I order tea for dessert too which makes me feel like I am having something (lame). Also a little of the mushroom/artichoke appetizer might be okay.
ooh lardons of bacon!  oh and the goat cheese salad- ahhhhh (Homer Simpson salivating!) 
Rachel, John Dory is a fish.

I wouldn't be able to even look at it without gagging! Sorry... I've seen Monkfish in the local meat market, and I have to say, it's not very appetizing to look at. Other than that, fish is probably my favorite meal of all. If I could, I would eat it every night!

Isn't it great that you can look up a menu ahead of time? I love doing that even though it takes the fun and surprise out of reading it at the restaurant. But with IBS I think it is the best!

It isn't really like monkfish, it has a finer texture and a really nice subtle flavour - a bit like plaice or sole. If you like fish you should try it when you get the chance!
As for the restaurant, it looks like a really good place to eat - if you don't have IBS! I would probably pick the sea bass or the tiger prawns, but I'm not sure what would be safe as a first course or dessert ... I was in a restaurant the other day and had fish soup to start, with a bread roll of course, then sole meuniere, which came with boiled potatoes and carrots. For dessert tarte tatin, a kind of apple pie where the apples are very well cooked and very sweet, but I didn't eat any of the pastry ... no wine or coffee either. That's the best I've managed in a restaurant so far. How do other IBS-ers cope with menu choices?
